Oh, this is one of those weird universe things. The places we came from don't match up right or something. It happens, leads to weird situations, like Varric and Isabela thinking I'm involved with Fenris.
I'm probably still pretty much the same person you knew in your universe though. Unless you're like Anders and knew a male Hawke, or a Hawke that wasn't a mage... Maker, talking about myself in the third person is confusing.
